Fight as one of the game's sword-wielding characters in solo play or local multiplayer. The setting is an alternate version of the Japanese underworld, and the game includes a story mode.
There are no health bars: a clean hit can end a round, while wounds impair movement and may prove fatal. Use a small set of actions to attack, cancel attacks into feints, parry, dodge, and clash with an opponent's strike.
The eight starting characters have distinct fighting styles, from a fast, unarmed monk to a heavier fighter with a giant sword. Duels take place across six hand-textured stages, and CPU-versus-CPU matches can also be watched.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often highlight its tense, timing-focused duels, where positioning and reading an opponent matter more than long move sequences. Some also praise the character designs and atmospheric stages, and find local matches engaging. Criticisms include limited content and short solo play, the lack of online multiplayer, and occasional uncertainty about whether a hit should have landed.
